question
I want to use this for rooftop shots in cities. How much weight can it handle. What about combination of Cannon Mark iii & 70-200 mm lens
Unfortunately they do not specify a load capacity because it will vary depending on the tripod you are using and the head. However, if you are using a heavy camera and lens like you mentioned, you should use sandbags or a tripod apron to help stabilize the tripod. Please see the following links:http://bhpho.to/Y3MwpPhttp://bhpho.to/1nOcVhvWith the apron, you can place any weight inside such as your camera bag, a sandbag or rocks. Or you can just drape a sandbag over the leg of the tripod to help keep it from tipping.

question
What kind of tripod would you recommend mounting this to? I need to get a tripod that will allow me to shoot overhead. I primarily use a 50mm lens. Any help/advice on which product(s) to get would be much appreciated!
Any tripod that is tall enough to extend above you, preferably with as little adjustment of the center column as possible. Having a sandbag on a the weight hook under the column (or a clamp weight, in the absence of a hook) will also help immensely. Both of these things will allow you to keep the center of gravity low. And of course, you also want the tripod to be able to support the total weight of your setup. Depending on the height you need, either of these two tripods could be considered:B&H # MA058B ? Mfr # 058BB&H # MA161MK2B ? Mfr # 161MK2B

question
Can this be used with Canon 6D? I mean whether the screw is compatible with the size for tripod mount on Canon 6D. Thanks!
Yes

question
Can 2 of these be attached end to end for a longer reach?
Both ends have male attachments and they are different sizes. Even if you could attach them together you wouldn't get a strong attachment, so the camera would wobble. Plus it would place the weight so far out of the center of gravity that the tripod would fall over.

question
what tripod would work well with this?
Get a heavy duty video tripod. Anything else will be too unstable, especially if you're using a DSLR

question
I'm wondering if a tripod set like the Manfrotto MK290XTC3-BHUS 290 Xtra (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1175945-REG/manfrotto_mk290xtc3_bhus_290_xtra_carbon_ball.html) would work with this side arm. Also is there anything else I'd need besides the tripod, ball head and side arm?
I use mine with a 190XPROB. It works just fine, although you need to keep the legs about 1/2 extended to keep there from being too much rotation since a ball head on the side arm has a lot more leverage than a camera sitting on top of the tripod. For my set up the only other thing I have besides ballhead and sidearm is a laptop table.

question
I have Manfrotto element. Is it possible to,attach that tripod?
Yes, I attach the Manfrotto Side arm to my Manfrotto Befree Travel Tripod. Just unscrew the ball head from the tripod and replace it by screwing in the side arm.
